Our Listeners
- Off the Grid listeners are smart, fun, values-centered business owners who create and share impactful things on and offline. They’re writers, artists, designers, wellness practitioners, service providers, shop owners and product makers who know a lot about their craft but need more support to make the business side of things thrive.
- They’re also SICK of social media — especially how much energy, creativity, and precious life force it drains from them. So they’re seeking better, softer, more relatable knowledge about marketing and business strategy that will help them make money without selling their souls to Meta, Google, or other social media overlords.
- According to Spotify, our listeners are 86% female, 7% male & 7% nonbinary. 5% of our listeners are between ages 23-27, 34% are 28-34, 39% are 35-44, 19% are 45 or older, and 2% are 60+. They’re primarily located in the US, UK and Canada.

✨ A note from a happy sponsor—
“Placing an ad on Off the Grid was hands down the best investment I made last year. My cost per lead ended up around $6 (70% less than meta's average btw), and nearly all of those leads are still highly engaged a year later. They open, click, and even reply to my emails. On top of all that, many have become customers, bringing in over 13x ROI.”

”My Off the Grid ads performed so well, and I'm not at all surprised because when Amelia speaks, people listen. This community is so valuable. I went from 44 to 141 subscribers! That's a 220% increase!”

✨ A note from a happy sponsor—
*"Advertising on Off The Grid was the best business investment I’ve made in years! Not only did it feel really good to spend my money supporting a podcast that I love but it also welcomed around 150 new people to my email list and within the first month of the ad going live I’ve already made back eight times my investment through new paying customers in my business.
But what I loved most of all was how supportive Amelia was to work with, the thoughtfulness she put into recording multiple ads for my month sponsoring the show, and most of all the wonderful new humans I’ve now been able to connect with after they discovered my work through Off The Grid.
Audience growth can feel exhausting as a small business owner but advertising on Off The Grid didn’t. It felt easeful, it felt fun, and it also was more than worth the financial investment too. I’ll definitely be back in the future and I’m really excited to see what other small businesses I get to discover as sponsors of future episodes too!"*
